Problems! 3 Ireland Broadband Modem - Dell Vostro with Vista Business

    Hi all..

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but I couldnt find an answer through the search function.

    Im trying to set up a friend's 3 Ireland USB Broadband modem on his new Dell Vostro (vista business). He has a 14 day trial and the people in the shop told him "it probably wont work with a Dell computer..."

    I didnt believe that for a second so I tried it out and got the message that windows couldnt read from the F: Drive when I plugged in the modem.

    I rebooted into safe mode and plugged it in again.. no problem there.. it detected and installed, then found a signal and worked fine.

    I rebooted into normal mode.. again.. fine.. and downloaded AVG. I plugged out the modem and started AVG, updating it from my own wireless network because it was a lot faster.

    Just as my friend was leaving, I plugged in the 3 Ireland Modem again just.. to be sure to be sure... and alas.. Im back to the old F: Drive prompt.

    This time the 3 Software opens fine but it cant find the modem, even though its plugged in.

    Has anyone worked their way around this problem before?? I find it hard to believe that the 3 modems wont work properly on Dell laptops. Its ridiculous.



    Edit... Just found a thread from July that relates to the problem.
    Is there an update on firmware that suits vista and Dell laptops?

    I haven't heard anything on the laptop forum, but I vaguely remember something on the mobiles/PDA forum.

    Might be better to move the thread there.
